BARONESS Blatch, speaking in the Upper House on May 22, made the shocking statement that Britain was envious of the German economy. Disgraceful and unpatriotic slurs on our country by our politicians are now commonplace.

What Baroness Blatch was careful not to mention was the reason for Germany's amazing economic success, which is the simple fact that Germany started the post war years with no national debt.

Hitler, to the eternal hatred and loathing of international finance, cancelled Germany's fraudulent national debt which had crippled the German economy and caused immense misery and suffering and returned the creation and control of money back to the German people, releasing interest and debt-free money as a service to the nation.

Therefore, he was able to turn economic disaster and massive unemployment and poverty in Germany into an amazing economic recovery with full employment for the German , which other European countries have never to this day come even close to rivalling.

After World War Two, the control of money was again returned into the hands of international finance, but Germany started the post war years with no national debt, which explains her phenomenal recovery to become the richest and most powerful nation in Europe.

If British politicians were not so much as mere pawns of international finance, they too would follow this example and return the issue of money to the people to whom it rightfully belongs, thereby removing our colossal unrepayable national debt and our own economic miracle would begin.
